Peyote/Mescaline

Mescaline and about 20 other biologically active alkaloids
account for the psychological and physical effects of the
Peyote cactus (Lophora williamsii) buds referred to as "buttons."
The fresh or dried buds of the cactus are eaten as is or steeped
into a tea. The cacti are found in the Rio Grande area of
Texas and Mexico. It is estimated that Peyote has been used
as an hallucinogenic agent for 3000-10,000 years and is an
important spiritual component of some southwest United States
native religions. Mescaline has chemical similarities to epinephrine,
although other active alkaloids are also present in Peyote.
